Well as stated here is the before pic fully loaded. No sumo springs and you see the sag.
I tried to recreate the same parking lot leaving for PA fully loaded with sumo springs installed.
Really no sag at all. with 740 lbs TW with 200lbs or so transfered with WD hitch.
The ride was pretty outstanding with firm footing on the highway doing 75 mph.
Hitting bridge dips produced one bounce in rear then dampened. Unlike leaf springs only where you would get a few extra oscillations of the rear of the truck.
Best improvment noticed was the roll of the truck in turns such as entering and exiting highways. High speed off ramps can be taken at speed as the rear of the truck no longer rolls. Its firm and positive footing.
I can whip the truck and trailer left and right if needed with no fear of the death sway starting. ( Never had that but just calling it something so ya know what I mean. LOL)
Ive never really had an issue with trucks passing with push pull syndrome, and if I did it was ever so slight.
Its non exsistant with these sumos.
And as said the unhitched ride is unaffected becuase they sit 1 " or so off the axle. But unloaded if I crank into a turn hard the sumo will en-gauge and keep the truck from rolling to one side.
Its a long truck @ 153"
Im happy with the purchase.
Here are sumos installed. Unloaded and loaded.
